Hao Ren went back to the seating area and saw Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang in the middle of the third row.
Zhao Hongyu had reserved a seat for Hao Ren. Hao Ren waved at Xie Yujia who was sitting in the sixth row, indicating that he would move to the front. Then, he squeezed in and sat in the empty seat next to Zhao Hongyu.
"Did you go to see Zi?" Zhao Hongyu turned her head slightly and asked Hao Ren.
"Yeah, I went to see her," Hao Ren answered.
"You came here with Xie Yujia, right?" Zhao Hongyu continued to ask.
"Um … Yes." Hao Ren was a bit embarrassed, but he didn't deny it.
Zhao Hongyu looked at the stage in silence and didn't say anything.
On the stage, the curtain was pulled open again, and a brand-new set appeared in front of everyone. In front of a monastery, Romeo was praying to the priest for help.
Then, Zhao Yanzi, who was dressed elegantly, was led into the monastery.
Zhao Hongyu sat upright and looked very carefully. Rather than looking, it would be more accurate to say that she was admiring it.
Zhao Yanzi's performance was a bit immature and naive. From Zhao Hongyu's eyes, one could clearly see the love she had for her daughter.
This was Zhao Yanzi's first time on the stage and showing off her talent. However, if it weren't for Hao Ren's encouragement, she would probably still be lazy.
Girls wanted to show off in front of certain people.
Zhao Yanzi moved on the stage in her dress like a moving doll. Under the lights, she was as beautiful as a fairy, and the focus of the stage magnified her beauty by 100 times.
Her lines were a bit stiff, but she didn't stutter. In fact, the students of the high school and middle school departments only cared about Zhao Yanzi's beauty and didn't care if her performance was mature or not.
Only a mother like Zhao Hongyu would pay attention to the details of Zhao Yanzi's performance and see where it was lacking and where it was good.
The performance came to an end under Zhao Yanzi's lead.
"A tomb? Ah, no! It is a beacon, for Juliet sleeps here, and her beauty transforms this tomb into a hall of light and rejoicing. "
Romeo's monologue brought the show to the most classic ending.
"Ah, dear Juliet, why art thou still so fair? Could it be that the death of nothingness, that skinny and hateful demon, is also a sentimental person, so it hid you in this dark cave? In order to prevent this kind of love, I want to stay with you forever and never leave this dark palace again. "
"Romeo" picked up the poison and drank it in one gulp.
Zhao Yanzi slowly woke up. When she saw Romeo crawling on the ground, she suddenly froze.
"Good acting here. You've shown the shock. Her acting was too plain before this, "Zhao Hongyu commented softly.
However, Hao Ren didn't think that Zhao Yanzi was immersed in her performance. He knew very well that Zhao Yanzi was stuck in her lines.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, Zhao Yanzi dropped all the lines at the end. She picked up Romeo's sword and committed suicide.
Such a direct "suicide" was out of the teachers' expectations, but with the death of "Juliet", this tragic love story truly ended.
The curtain fell. The play was over.
The hall was filled with thunderous applause. Many leading and supporting actors walked to the front in their costumes and bowed to express their gratitude.
Sitting in the first row, the Principal asked the leader of the Education Bureau beside him anxiously, "What do you think?"
The principal felt that the ending was a failure. During the rehearsal, there was a long line of lines, but during the performance, the female lead suddenly dropped a long line of classic lines. It was not just one or two lines, but it was very eye-catching. It revealed that the performance was not well-prepared.
The leader who was invited nodded in satisfaction. "Very good acting. Especially the last part where he committed suicide, it showed the feeling of panic and the determination to die. This part is very well changed! "
"Ah …" The Principal froze for a second and exhaled deeply. "Yeah, yeah. It's all thanks to the teachers' good writing and the students' good acting!"
"The comprehensive development of the students' abilities in your school is very good! It will be promoted to the whole city as a demonstration project! "the leader of the Education Bureau continued.
Overjoyed, the Principal walked out of the hall with the leader.
"Oh, send the video up. Since it is a demonstration project, put it in the news. Send the complete version to all the middle and high schools in the city for them to watch and learn, "the leader suddenly turned around and said to the Principal.
In an instant, the high school principal was overjoyed. He only wanted to show LingZhao Middle School's concept of all-round development, but he didn't expect the performance to be so successful that it would be promoted to the whole city. He wanted all the middle and high schools in East Ocean City to see LingZhao Middle School's performance and use it as a model …
"Mom …" After the performance, Zhao Yanzi came to the stand and threw herself into Zhao Hongyu's arms. She was still in her clothes.
"We are not at home. Don't act like a spoiled child." Zhao Hongyu pulled Zhao Yanzi's ear and pulled her away from her arms.
"Dad! Did I do a good job? "Zhao Yanzi immediately turned to Zhao Guang and asked.
"It was so-so," Zhao Guang didn't want Zhao Yanzi to be too proud, so he said calmly.
In fact, as a father, he was very proud of his daughter's performance!
He used to think that Zhao Yanzi couldn't do anything, but now he realized that Zhao Yanzi was smart and could do anything well as long as she put in the effort.
Hao Ren looked at her with a smile on his face. He was happy for her first successful performance. He could imagine that Zhao Yanzi, who was already a little famous at school, would become even more popular.
The guys who hadn't experienced Zhao Yanzi's charm before knew how charming she was after watching the performance.
In the play, Juliet was a beautiful girl at the age of 13, and Zhao Yanzi was also beautiful at the age of 15.
Of course, Hao Ren came to see her performance for another reason. However, that reason didn't appear in the end.
After all, it was a middle school play, and it was quite pure in all aspects. The male and female leads didn't even hug each other, and they only held hands by their clothes.
He looked back and saw that Xie Yujia and Luo Ying were no longer in their seats.
"Let's go!" Zhao Yanzi held Zhao Hongyu's hand with one hand and Hao Ren's hand with the other.
She was wearing a beautiful long dress and gown, and she looked like Juliet on the stage. Hao Ren could see that the middle-school boys around him were looking at Zhao Yanzi in the same way …
When they ran outside, the parents who were playing the supporting roles were talking to the teachers. Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang also saw Luo Ying and Xie Yujia standing outside.
Zhao Hongyu didn't want to miss the opportunity to talk to the Class Advisor since it wasn't easy for her to come to school. She hurried over to greet Luo Ying.
Zhao Yanzi was afraid of the Class Advisor, so she immediately pulled Hao Ren to the other side.
After walking out of the art gallery, LingZhao Middle School was still as peaceful as ever. The sports field not far away was bathed in the silver moonlight, making Hao Ren miss his middle school days.
"Hey! Did I do a good job? "Zhao Yanzi pouted and asked Hao Ren when they were a few meters away from the basketball hoop.
"You did a great job," Hao Ren looked at her and answered.
"Actually, I forgot my lines at the end, but it doesn't matter. I just want it to end soon," Zhao Yanzi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.
She was in a good mood after the successful performance.
"Why did you suddenly decide to do this?" Hao Ren asked her.
"There's a poll in the school, and the results are out. I didn't want to do it at first, but after watching the video … "Zhao Yanzi immediately covered her mouth.
"Video? What video? "Hao Ren asked.
Zhao Yanzi knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. She pouted and looked at Xie Yujia who was standing beside Luo Ying. "The video of her in the past."
"Oh?" Hao Ren was a bit interested.
"The video of Xie Yujia in middle school …"
"Oh, did Zeng Yitao transfer schools?" Hao Ren asked her suddenly.
"Yeah, he transferred. It's so annoying. "Zhao Yanzi nodded and didn't ask why Zeng Yitao transferred schools.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were talking face to face near the basketball hoop. A few guys passing by pointed at them and said, "That must be Zhao Yanzi's boyfriend … He doesn't look that good … He has been to school a few times already …"
Hao Ren turned to look at them, and the middle school guys immediately sped up and left. A few high school guys stared at Hao Ren, unconvinced.
"Zi!" Zhao Hongyu, who was standing across from Luo Ying, waved at Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi knew that Zhao Hongyu was calling her over to ask her some questions. Although she was a bit reluctant, she still walked over slowly. Without a doubt, it must be about her grades and her performance in class …
However, Hao Ren could tell from Luo Ying's smiling face that this Class Advisor was in a good mood and would probably say good things about Zhao Yanzi.
"It's getting late. We should head back now," Xie Yujia said to Luo Ying and Zhao Hongyu when she saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi walking over.
"Ok, go back early. The dorm is closing soon." Luo Ying nodded.
Zhao Hongyu also nodded slightly at Xie Yujia.
"Then, it's a deal, Auntie. I'll visit you tomorrow." Xie Yujia bowed slightly to Zhao Hongyu.
"Hehe, ok," Zhao Hongyu responded with a smile.
Hao Ren looked at Zhao Hongyu and then at Xie Yujia, not knowing what kind of deal they had.
After walking out of the school, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia took the bus back to school. On the way, Hao Ren couldn't help but ask her, "What did you make with Zi's mom?"
"Just a small thing. She talked to me in private for a while," Xie Yujia said.
"Oh, I heard that you have videos of your previous performances?" Hao Ren asked her.
"You want to see them?" Xie Yujia blinked.
"You do?"
